Experience Matters with Milton and John

by Experience Matters M&J

Experience Matters is a candid conversation between two friends and Caltech alumni from different generations. Milton Chang brings decades of company-building, investing, and mentoring. John Barrera brings the perspective of an operator still building companies right now. They talk plainly about careers, AI, business, health, family, and resilience — not to lecture, but to compare notes and pass on what they've actually lived through.
